Why it’s on the list: Something I’ve hankered after doing for a long time. When it comes to it I’ll probably poop myself and drive round at 30mph …..

How/when I’ll judge this task to be completed: When I have successfully driven a car – any car – round a racing circuit, without killing myself or anyone else in the process.

Well ….. for my 40th birthday I was bought, by my wonderful lovely family and man, a race day experience … driving a Porsche Cayman, Formula Renault and Lamborghini Gallardo (200mph!!!!!) round the track at Thruxton! Not booked it yet, but watch this space!!

Booked for 10th September 2011 …. woohoo!! … Then postponed as I put my back out the day before .. and rebooked for November 19th 2011.

OMG I’m not at all scared ……
